Follow the Fish
What is the Follow the Fish Movement?
In the EU, one of the largest consumers of fish in the world, 69% of the seafood supply comes from imports. Despite this backdrop, some products sold in the EU are not required to display crucial information, such as species name, origin, and catch method. This type of information is often absent from processed products such as canned tuna, making it difficult for consumers to know what species of fish they are eating, where and how it was caught, and whether it is sustainably and ethically sourced.
The Follow the Fish movement aims to gather the most important players such as chefs, retailers, and consumer organisations to tell the EU decision-makers that we want to know if the fish we buy and eat is sustainable.
